Vocational Education & Training (VET)

Senior School students at GMAS have the opportunity to undertake VET studies, enabling them to earn credit towards nationally recognised qualifications whilst completing their West Australian Certificate of Education (WACE).

VET studies provide students with valuable experience in the workplace, broaden post-school options and prepare them for the transition from school to the workforce or further study.

VET covers a range of work experiences and training activities within the Senior School curriculum, where students can develop industry and workplace specific skills and knowledge.

Examples of the types of courses available to students include:

  • Building and Construction
  • Nursing
  • Community Services
  • Electrotechnology
  • Hairdressing
  • Plumbing
  • Retail Cosmetics
  • Automotive (Heavy or Light)
  • Education Support
